CONTINUING CONNECTED TRANSACTIONS The Company and Hengdeli entered into the Cooperation Agreement for joint development of luxury jewellery retail business. Upon completion of the Acquisition, Xxxxxxxx indirectly owns 15.27% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement and is a connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company. The Cooperation Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein thus have become the continuing connected transactions of the Company. In anticipation of the future demands of the Group, the Company has recently reviewed its cooperation with Xxxxxxxx. The parties entered into the New Cooperation Agreement on 27 September 2012 which would replace the Cooperation Agreement when approved by the Independent Shareholders at the EGM. Shenzhen Qijingda also entered into the Licence Agreement with Hangzhou Longyun on 1 July 2012. The New Cooperation Agreement and the Licence Agreement also provide for the Annual Caps of the transactions contemplated under the Agreements. As the applicable percentage ratios for the Aggregate Annual Cap exceeds 5% but less than 25% and the Aggregate Annual Cap is also greater than HK$10,000,000 on an annual basis, the New Cooperation Agreement and the Annual Caps are subject to reporting, announcement and Independent Shareholders’ approval requirements under Rule 14A.35 of the Listing Rules. A circular containing, among other things, details of the New Cooperation Agreement, the Licence Agreement, a letter from the Independent Board Committee to the Independent Shareholders, a letter of advice from an independent financial adviser to be appointed by the Company to the Independent Board Committee and Independent Shareholders and a notice convening the EGM will be dispatched to the Shareholders as soon as practicable. Reference is made to the announcements of the Company dated 28 September 2011, 4 November 2011, 7 February 2012 and 13 April 2012 and the circular of the Company dated 2 November 2011 in relation to, inter alia, the Acquisition. Upon the completion of Acquisition, Alpha Key becomes a substantial shareholder of the Company, holding approximately 15.27% of the entire issued share capital of the Company as at the date of this announcement. As Alpha Key is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Hengdeli, Hengdeli is therefore a connected person (as defined under the Listing Rules) of the Company. Reference is also made to the joint announcements of the Company and Hengdeli dated 25 October 2010 and 1 November 2010 in relation to, inter alia, the Cooperation Agreement. The Cooperation Agreement and the transactions contemplated therein have, upon completion of the Acquisition, become continuing connected transactions of the Company pursuant to Chapter 14A of the Listing Rules. The transactions contemplated under the Cooperation Agreement have been carried out on a small scale only and the total considerations do not exceed 0.1% of the applicable percentage ratios of the Listing Rules and are therefore exempt from the reporting, announcement and independent shareholders’ approval requirements. In anticipation of the future demands of the Group, the Company has recently reviewed its cooperation with Xxxxxxxx and the following new arrangements have been agreed by the parties.
